We'd like to use Building 15. as the Al'dun faction building. This is where the members of the Al'dun faction will reside and hold our meetings. It's an all in one. ^-^ So now we'll have somewhere to RP!

This is the first time I've done this , I am sorry Dsieda but I am going to say no.

With 12 factions already in existent it does not seem fair to have buildings set aside for them. It is one thing to mark off a building for a profession which contributes to the clan in providing resources or a service. While with factions, if we start giving you guys building, not all buildings are the same. It could start arguments over the better buildings, even fights, it could tear the clan apart!

One of the things that is going for our clan is our community. That while we can speak our minds, at the end of the day, we share what we have. Factions are to speak their mind but if we start giving them resources they will start to spend their efforts on keeping and gaining more resources instead of helping the clan.

And I have probably said too much for the wrong forum and at the wrong time. Sorry about that, but Writer is planing to repair the tower and I suggested that we make some small meeting rooms that you can use.

I agree with your thought/action, Melrun. There are a couple of factions that are "families" and as such the people probably live together. But we don't mark where everyone lives, and the buildings have plenty of rooms that can be temporarily co-opted for gatherings. Maybe we can eventually build a faction-house with offices available. Or maybe people will just improve on the houses, they have. Right now factions are too young to dedicate large amounts of clan space to them.

If I may? Building #15 is HUGE. Couldn't it be used by ALL of the factions? There would be plenty of space for all of us, we'd just have to say we're using different part of it is all.

EDIT: As was pointed out in our Faction's Skype convo, the building was being requested for RP purposes only, a request that has already been accepted in the past with the Veiled Script's classroom, so it seemed permissible for us, and, I'm hoping, will make it okay for all of the factions to share one Building for RP Settings. If an in game reason to use that building came up, it would negate the RP. Just like everything else RP based.

And yes, you are right, when RP groups asked I did indulge them in giving them rooms that no one is using. If the official situation changes they would be be kicked out(sorry ). But I did not feel it was right to give one faction the use of a large building. However, if you what to, for RP sake, to have a building for all the factions to meet and to do things, that is something else.

Now do you want to use building #18 or do you want to wait awhile, for Writer is going to be making some meeting areas in the repaired tower?

Merlune, if your last post was you being mean, I wouldn't worry to much about hurt feelings, though the caring is nice.

Yes, it was only for RP purposes in the case that, personal housing is not big enough to lay home to 16 people. Unless we all slept ontop of eachother but I don't think they'd appreciate that much, nor would the couples appreciate lack of privacy.

Hehe

In any case, rebuilding the tower would probably be a good idea, depending on how large that would be for the many factions that are going on. Logistically, I'm not sure if they'd all fit (it's possibly over 50 people in a same room) if they'd all go at once. Unless they schedual certain times.

And now I'm going off track. But yes, this was purely for our RP purpose.

Right now we only have factions. According to Kern we don't have houses yet. If factions start to claim buildings and all faction members start living in that building, that is the same thing as laying claim to that building under the rights of a "house." Which until the house mechanic is introduced, is not allowed. Right now all we need are faction offices and meeting rooms. People still live separately or in small groups, so let's choose a single building for all faction offices and meeting rooms and leave it at that for now.

Building 15 seems too far back and out of the way from the centre of the city for political utility,

As such, I also second building 10.

We do have houses. Ruined or crumbling houses. That people live in, according to Kern after one of the builder check-ups of the NWern part of Ther'avare.

If you check out the builder thread, you can find a schematic for the Big Tower. Lo and behold, I have included space for meeting room/faction office purposes. Now get your grubby mitts offa #10...By which I mean, the current idea is to build the public bath house there.

If all factions can agree to use the tower rooms for that purpose and hold off otherwise 'claiming' other buildings, then I can support that. Alternately, #10 is a large, multi-level building, so it might also be possible to make lower level(s) the bath area, and upper level(s) the faction offices and meeting rooms. This would make it something like a multi-purpose community centre where people meet to both talk and relax, which might be nice as people and factions could mix and mingle in the baths as well as in the offices and meeting rooms.
